Mr. White's Confession
Mr. White's Confession

Memory, mystery, identity amidst 1930s murder investigation.

If you’re drawn to the murky waters where mysteries intertwine with the complexities of memory and identity, "Mr. White's Confession" could captivate you. It's not just the suspense of the whodunit that will keep you turning the pages—it's the deep dive into the minds of characters grappling with truths that are as elusive as they are haunting. Set against the backdrop of 1930s Minnesota, this is a story for anyone who appreciates a narrative that questions the reliability of memory and perception while delivering a chilling investigation.
